O thou daughter of the Kingdom! Thy letter was received. It was like the melody of the divine nightingale,
whose song delighteth the hearts. This is because its
contents indicated faith, assurance and firmness in the
Covenant and the Testament. Today the dynamic power
of the world of existence is the power of the Covenant
which like unto an artery pulsateth in the body of the
contingent world and protecteth Bahá'í unity.

The Bahá'ís are commanded to establish the oneness of
mankind; if they cannot unite around one point how will
they be able to bring about the unity of mankind?
|
3 |
The purpose of the Blessed Beauty in entering into this
Covenant and Testament was to gather all existent beings
around one point so that the thoughtless souls, who in every
cycle and generation have been the cause of dissension, may
not undermine the Cause. He hath, therefore, commanded
that whatever emanateth from the Centre of the Covenant
is right and is under His protection and favour, while all
else is error.

Praise be to God, thou art firm in the Covenant and the
Testament.
